Keynote and Apple Aluminum Remote

I have used Keynote for a long time now and never had problems using it with a remote control.
I updated to Mountain Lion recently and **** broke loose! I cannot get Keynote to work with a remote if I am showing my presentation on a secondary display (an LCD TV connected to my Macbook Pro via an HDMI cable). I did manage to reset the SMC (System Management Controller) but it solved my problem only temporarily. I know the problem is not with the remote because when I use it with Keynote and I am not using a secondary display, it works perfectly. BTW, iPhone and iPod touch remotes are not enabled.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
TIA

An update:
The remote works well with Quicktime. I had to play an mp3 file and the remote apparently works well with you. Keynote seems to be the culprit...

Installed iOS 8.1.3 on iPhone 6 and Apple TV Remote App no longer works

After installing 8.1.3 and rebooting, the Apple TV Remote App stopped working. I can tap to select options, but cannot swipe or gesture to move to other options. Rebooted Apple TV and iPhone 6, no change. No other apps were affected.

Hi Chris Parich,
I see that you may be seeing some issues with your ability to connect to the Apple TV through your Remote App. Here is an article with some troubleshooting steps to help you address this:

Keynote and apple TV

I really would like to use iPad Keynote with Apple TV. This would be a big money saver for our office during presentations but we cannot see how to do it right now. Basically it would mean we would buy apple TV modules for the office and then we would be free to do presentations in any of our rooms using wireless.
If this can be done can anyone explain how?
Does apple have plans to include this ability in future updates?

To the best of my knowledge, Keynote does not support Airplay, so this would not be possible though an Apple tV. You can, however, connect the iPad to a screen directly either via HDMI (or DVI with an HDMI to DVI adapter) or VGA. Keynote does support video out.
Whether or not Apple has plans to add Airplay support to Keynote, no one here will know since we're all just fellow users.

KeyNotes and Apple script / scripting Bridge

Hi
Sorry I am a recently started development in Mac OS, so may be this question is very simple for you guys
actually I am looking to manage Keynote application automatically from Mac Server application, I know apple script is available for lot of functionalities available in keynote but i want that all these things happend without showing anything on GUI , like i want to do all the automation on background without effecting the running GUI of keynote
if anybody can have idea how to do it in Apple script or using ScriptingBridge, I will really appriciate your help and support

depending on what you want to do, this may or may not be possible (most likely not). Applescript works by scripting other applications: some applications are set up do do background tasks, some applications are duplicated by osax or unix utilities that operate invisibly, but most often applescript has to open a document in the application and work on it through the application.
scripting bridge is for cocoa developers: it allows cocoa apps to script other apps. it's not really useful for you unless you want to develop specialized software.
more details would be helpful.

Keynote and Apple Script

I need a script, runnable on a Mac acting as a server, that can do the following without human interaction.
1. Open a keynote file - we can open keynote file manually
Automative should finish following tasks ..
2. From the "Share" menu within KeyNote, select "Export..."
3. Choose "Images", keep the format as 'Jpeg' and the quality at 66%, click "Next..."
4. Create a "New Folder" (may be we can create similar file name like 1.key ----> folder name 1/but this should be done by automatic )
5. Click "Export"
6. close keynote
I need this to be able to run from the command line somehow. I'm not sure the best way to do this: applescript? or work flow ?
thanks fin advance

The following script seems to work flawlessly under Mac OS X 10.6.5 with version 5.0.4 (633) of Keynote ’09, using the +default preferences+ of the application.
Since the script uses [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html], you should first enable the Accessibility Frameworks by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane.
To run the script from the command line, just type something like the following in the Terminal window:
*~ username$ osascript /Users/username/Desktop/Keynote\ script.scpt*
if the compiled script, for instance, is named "Keynote script.scpt" and located on the Desktop.
(You migh need to adjust the delays if necessary.)
--Change the following two lines to fit your needs:
*set theKeynoteFile to POSIX file "/Users/pierre/Desktop/My Keynote Slideshow.key" as alias*
*set theDestinationFolder to POSIX file "/Users/pierre/Pictures/" as alias*
--Create a new folder (temporarily located on the desktop) where to export the slides:
*tell application "Finder"*
*   set theFolderName to text 1 through -5 of (get the name of theKeynoteFile)*
*   make new folder at desktop with properties {name:theFolderName}*
*   set theExportFolder to result as alias*
*end tell*
*tell application "Keynote"*
   activate
*   set theSlideshow to open theKeynoteFile*
*   repeat until theSlideshow exists*
*      delay 1*
*   end repeat*
*   delay 1*
*   if playing then*
*      stop slideshow*
*      delay 1*
*   end if*
*   tell application "System Events"*
*      tell process "Keynote"*
*         click menu item "Export…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Share" of menu bar 1*
*         delay 0.25*
*         tell sheet 1 of window (displayed name of theKeynoteFile)*
*            click button "Images" of tool bar 1*
*            delay 0.25*
*            click pop up button 1*
*            click menu item "JPEG (variable quality)" of menu 1 of pop up button 1*
*            delay 0.25*
*            set value of text field "Quality:" of group 1 to "66%"*
*            keystroke tab*
*            delay 0.25*
*            keystroke return* -- click button "Next…"
*            delay 0.25*
*            if value of checkbox 1 is 0 then click checkbox 1*
*            delay 0.25*
*            click radio button 2 of radio group 1 of group 1*
*            keystroke "d" using command down* -- desktop
*            tell outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1*
*               select row 1 whose value of static text 1 is theFolderName*
*            end tell*
*            keystroke return* -- click button "Export"
*         end tell*
*         delay 1*
*         click button "Export" of sheet 1 of window 1*
*      end tell*
*   end tell*
   quit
*end tell*
*tell application "Finder" to move theExportFolder to theDestinationFolder with replacing*
Please let me know if the script doesn't work as expected.

Keynote and Apple 30" Display

What is the best (optimum) size to make a Keynote presentation for displaying on a 30" Apple Cinema Display? The presentation will loop. Should I export the slide show to Quicktime or just use Keynote?

As in all cases, you'll get best results if the slide size is whatever the "native" resolution of the monitor is. In the case of the 30" Cinema Display, that appears to be 2560 x 1600.
If the presentation works fine in Keynote, I would not export it to Quicktime, as Keynote can loop a presentation just fine.

My aluminum remote for Apple TV no longer seems to connect to the Apple TV receiver; I've changed the battery, but w/o success

My aluminum remote does not appear to connect with the Apple TV receiver; I've changed the battery. I can turn on the Apple TV and the opening screen comes up, but the remote doesn't seem to connect...no cursor or movement on the Apple TV screen occurs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

Remote app on Ipad 2 (and Apple TV 1st gen)

Hi,
I have an Apple TV (1st gen) which I control thorugh an Iphone 4 and Ipad 1. I recently bought an Ipad 2 and installed the Remote app. The app finds my ATV and I can control the music in it, but the control function (that allow the ipad screen to become a trackpad) is missing, so I cannot navigate on the ATV's menu. I can still do it on the Iphone4 and Ipad 1 (even with the updated IOS). I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app on my Ipad2 but the control function is still missing. Has anyone experienced this before? Do you know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried resetting the iPad, to do this:
Press and hold the Home button and the Wake / Sleep buttons at the same time, keep them both pressed until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen (ignore the swipe to turn off message, keep the buttons pressed).

It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

Ipad mini remote app will connect to my itunes library and apple tv but won't display content from itunes library on the apple tv section of remote app

What I am trying to do is very simple, and I am sure I have done it before.
I have an Apple TV (2nd Gen) connected to Wifi Network (Airport Extreme 802.11n) I want to stream content from the itunes library on my macbook pro over the wifi network to the Apple TV. This works no problem, home sharing is set up and I can see the itunes library under 'Computer' on the Apple TV interface. I can use the Apple Remote to scroll through and play content from my itunes. Works no problem.
Now I want to use the remote app on my ipad mini to control the apple tv. Using up to date app (Version 3.01) Again, everything looks like it should work. I have turned on Home Sharing on the remote app settings. It works fine and both my itunes library and Apple TV show up on the interface. I can touch the itunes icon and control the itunes on my computer and play music and video on my computer screen.
Now when I touch the apple tv icon I can't see my itunes library content to play on the apple tv. I see the below image. If I tap on the icon in the bottom left it takes me back to the screen in the first image. What is the strangest thing is that I can control the apple tv using the gestures interface! This isn't what I want though and I want to be able to see the itunes library on the screen of the ipad and play it on the apple tv. You can see in the video on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEpgcE9KCs). This is what I am trying to do and I just don't understand why I don't get the screen seen at 1:25 in the video. Instead I get the screen seen in the below image. Any ideas? I know that the remote app is connecting to the apple TV because I can control it using gestures, just strange I can't see the content on the ipad like in the attached video clip, instead I see the screen in the image below. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

Keynote and iPhone Remote throwing an error

They remote works great when I open keynote and then use the remote app. But once I stop the slide show, and try and start the slide show again I get an error. When that happens it won't even let me start the slide show manually. I have to shut keynote down and restart it.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Please follow the following procedure.
Goto Transaction SICF->SAP->BC->SAP->Application name(Right click and activate the application)
Hope this solves the issue, let me know if any queries.

How to use ATV2 with iTunes, DAC and Apple remote

Hello,
I play my iTunes library through a Wadia i170 dock connected to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic running through a Marantz AV preamp. I bought an ATV2 and I would like to control the music with an iPad using the Apple Remote app. My ATV is connected to the Marantz via HDMI and i have another HDMI cable running to the TV. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks!

If you enable Home Sharing in itunes, on iPad and AppleTV then Remote app will allow you to browse itunes content from the iTunes library and play it back on AppleTV using Airplay. Alternatively the Remote app can control the AppleTV interface directly with iAppleTV requesting/pulling content from itunes as opposed to Airplay sending/pusihing content to AppleTV to play.
Not sure where the Wadia dock comes into this.
Do you dock the iPad with it?
I'd have thought you'd be wanting to hook up the AppleTV optical out to the DacMagic if it supports Toslink or use HDMI or optical direct to the AV amp.
Are you trying to run the system 'headless' with TV off when playing audio - if so, recent software has messed things up and not certain if fixed in that absence of an active HDMI connection can disable audio out over optical.
